i agree. i also dread that our world's hatred of women runs deeper and older than anything. i dread it on an existential level; i want to be proven wrong

Vacillating between spending more money for less and spending less altogether. One of the greatest cost increases I’ve seen is for my healthcare, which I pay out of pocket for as the employee of a very small business.

I’m fortunate enough to just find these guys in my house and yard a lot; I can confirm that they were a gateway spider into my journey from terrified to enthusiastic. Now I let all sorts of spiders chill in my house. It’s cute, they all have their little spots.

I have disagreed with Lorenz’s personal statements in the past. Having just read this Wired article, I am struggling to understand the backlash to it? Open to correction but this seems like an important thing to report on?

This is a curious thing, and I’ve found that engaging with this phenomena primarily with my curiosity has helped to curb some of my more pedantic and prescriptivist tendencies.

Thank you for posting this! I hope my ramblings are not too unwelcome or out of place :) (3/3)

It may be less of a stretch for the pedant to imagine (and accept) a person as figuratively petrified than it is to suppose literal is meant to mean figurative— these words feel as close to dichotomous as our twisting and beautiful language allows. (2/3)

I agree! And yet I also think part of why common usage of ‘literally’ is such a sticking point for some is that this usage departs from the original meaning and context of the word so substantially. (1/3)

Genuine question to those saying it is for final goodbyes: Would that make the tragedy any more bearable?

I understand that any moment may be my final one— and I may not be able to use my phone. So I make sure to kiss my husband goodbye in the morning, and tell people I love them when I can.

Em dash’s association with LLMs breaks my heart! She doesn’t deserve this!
